139 Transcore’s work for the Delaware Department of Transportation (DELDOT) to convert the I-95 Newark toll plaza to open road tolling has received a National Recognition Award for exceptional achievement in engineering.

TransCore served as the lead integrator on DELDOT’s conversion of the Newark Toll Plaza on I-95, adding two new electronic highway speed lanes on both the north and south bound plazas that successfully reduced congestion in a busy corridor for motorists and commercial freight carriers. Plaza throughput increased from an estimated 250-300 transactions per lane per hour to an estimated 2,000. The US$32 million project was fully funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Working around the clock, A-Del Construction, the prime contractor on the project, TransCore, and the I-95 toll plaza team beat the projected 479 calendar day delivery schedule by more than a month.
